So we know that 1) Cohen hid all this work in an LLC no one ever heard of 2) Cohen apparently never did any actual work for the money 3) Cohen funneled the money through his presidential extra-marital hush money fund 4) Mueller knew about all this six months ago

5) Mueller has Cohen's bank records and got access to his emails several months ago 6) A few months after Mueller started asking about these payments to Cohen, the feds got a warrant to raid Cohen.

The fact that SDNY did the raid and not Mueller is, IMO, a very important distinction.

Do you think perhaps Mueller referred to SDNY to spread it around in case he was fired and not because it was out of his purview?

Absolutely possible. Thing is we don't know. And until we do, we should make sure to maintain the distinction bc they may present different legal issues.
